Dell E DS 300B 8G 8PORT UPGRADE KIT
This is an 8Gb, 8-port upgrade kit for the Dell/EMC Connectrix DS-300B Fibre Channel SAN switch (a rebadged Brocade 300 series switch). The DS-300B ships as a 24-port-capable 1U Fibre Channel switch that uses a Ports-on-Demand licensing model, where the physical hardware supports up to 24 universal ports but only a subset are active out of the box -- additional ports are unlocked in blocks of 8 by applying a licence upgrade kit like this one, rather than needing a hardware swap. This particular kit activates 8 more ports running at up to 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel speed (the switch auto-senses 2, 4 or 8 Gb/s per port), letting an existing DS-300B scale from its current active port count up toward the full 24 as a SAN environment grows, without any downtime or additional switch hardware.
